Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Not senseless, perhaps, but once again I'd like to say that we all got off on the wrong foot and we could have been on better terms had you simply invited us to dinner first. Or at least attempted a proper discussion.

So let us try that now. We've even brought gifts.

What he said!! This is no way to treat a harmless bringer of gifts!!

[ look, he has an entire backpack!! ]

[He holds his tongue from saying he has been foolish, then. He's so helpful. He does slip the bag on his back off of his shoulders, though.]

Your people are starving. We wish to alleviate the hunger being experienced in this place by sharing resources. We do not have an endless supply, but none of us wish to watch others starve where we might be able to help.

Bold of you to request an invite after forcing your way in. [a snort, leaning back in his chair. does not release the handcuffs yet.]

And what have you all brought? And more importantly, why bring it to me instead of just giving it to the people? Are you holding it hostage?

It would be quite the mess if we just handed things out randomly to people in the street without knowing the full extent of your troubles. We don't know how big your population is and it's very doubtful that we have enough to distribute to all of them.

But this is an example of what we have access to. And if you're willing to let us work with you to heal the land and drive back the mist further then there will be more good earth for everyone.

...

I mean, I can't speak for these guys, or the pasture. To be honest, I'm not even here to negotiate. Ain't my expertise. I just came to guide my friend here, 'cause he asked. But if you're wondering why the Clover asshole that scared the shit outta those casino guys dared to set foot here again... for what it's worth, it's not 'cause I find it fun or anything.

And I'm sorry. To those guys, specifically. This whole crazy magic war between you and Blossom and the holy beasts and the Wolf King... s'all too big for me. I'm just some guy that your sister kidnapped. Some nobody that wants to go home. But still...

As much as this ain't about me... let's just say, I know what it's like to fight for survival every day. And I know what it's like to live in fear of somethin' that doesn't exist. Something some asshole made you believe just 'cause they're scared, too.

Those guys don't deserve that. They just want to live. To eat. I get it. If you want me to go apologize to them, I will. If you think it'll help. If not... I brought alcohol and grapes. Figured giving them to you would do less damage than bustin' into the casino again.

.....................

[taps at the armrest of his office chair]

So. . .you broke into my office, to apologize, and to pull food out of school bags to bribe me?

This is the extent of your plan? What are you all really after?

Ah... Your people aren't to blame for anything, but I'm not here to apologize to you.

[Said with a smile.]

My companions are free to do as they want.

But don't be obtuse. You know there's a common threat out there we all have to deal with and fighting with each other isn't going to help any of us.

[Levi takes the broken pieces of Ayo's mask from his front pocket and slides them across the table.]

I thought you might like this returned.

Like I said. I'm mostly here to play escort and look pretty. Also, I've never gone to school.

[ but also, looking at the mask curiously ]

No one within the pasture wants to fight with any of you to begin with. Despite how terribly rude you have been all this time.

[The rudest. Truly, he is just as much of an idiot as Blossom.]

Don't you think it is time to halt aggressions with the pasture so that we can all deal with the mist and what continues to threaten all of our lives? Working together would be beneficial to both sides. None of us wish to see its advancement and the continued degradation of this land.

You'll excuse me if I find it difficult to believe that you all actually give a damn about the collective safety of wolf ki--. . .

[and his muzzle snaps right the fuck shut when that mask remnant hits the table.

Please hold as Ceo stares, and then reaches for it, trying to still his shaking gloved paw.

. . .]

This is. . .it really is his.

How did you come across this? Your flock isn't the one that killed him.

A small group of us returned to the mist in search of wolfsbane. We needed to grow our own in order to counter the effects of lycanthropy on our people. The Forever Snake kindly directed us to his grave, where we had a brief encounter with his spirit and were able to attain the plants we required.

There were no words exchanged, I'm afraid, but I collected the pieces in case they might be useful. Now here we are.

[ anything he says here will beef things. SAYS NOTHING ]

[He still wants to have beef with this wolf until he apologizes for his everything, but he will, for once, also say nothing.]

[there's so much beef here we could have a cookout. BUT FOR NOW.

He continues staring at the broken shards, until his ear flicks. ]

The Forever Snake again. . .it ignored our calls, and yet answers for those not of this realm? Ridiculous.

[a deep breath]

You're giving these to me willingly? As a show of good faith then?

Or is there something else you're all after.

I can't speak for the Forever Snake. I was merely assigned to the flock whose priest stayed by his side for the five hundred years you had him imprisoned.

We have told you all we're after. I'm not adding anything to the pool, just letting you know that there's no grudge getting in the way of things.

[ keeps his mouth shut and does his best to look pretty. ✨✨✨✨✨ ]

[ Well Cres has a grudge. He has a grudge and he will hold it because he is so good at grudges. You don't get to kidnap his... his EEL. And then act like they're the offending party here when they come knocking later. And with food for his people no less!

Bad leader, making the worst decisions, completely idiotic to the point of stupidity just like his sister, and then they get wrapped up in THEIR dramatic family affairs and they have the audacity to sit here and act like they're some enemy when all they've done is get kidnapped into their stupid world and then yanked around despite being innocent of it all, and this wolf wants to sit here and act like they're the suspicious ones. Well let him tell you, this wolf should get down on his knees and-]

[. . .

He idly starts trying to fit the broken pieces back together as Levi speaks, not looking up at them.

And then, snaps his fingers.

The handcuffs fall harmlessly to the floor.]

. . .you say you want to share resources, but surely you must realize, you're all in a far more advantageous state than me and my people.

At this point, as much as my pride hates it, anything you can provide is basically charity. So what are you seeking? What could we possibly provide?

Assistance. Information. What we know of the lay of the land here is still spotty thanks to the mist, and we could always use any and all knowledge that might help in calming your father's rage.

That would be the preferable means of healing this place, wouldn't it?

Most of us just want to get back to where we came from, and the best way to do that is to make it so we're no longer needed here.

Edited 2024-09-28 02:58 (UTC)

Can you tell us his Name? Your father's, that is.

If not... can you teach us how to speak wolf?

[ he just thinks it's cool ok ]

No longer behaving so antagonistically toward us would go a long way. I agree with what the others have already stated.

[He lifts a hand out toward Leviathan.]

And a proper apology to him. You certainly owe at least that. And even if he says he does not require one, I do.

[Finally looks up from the shards at Crescendo like ???????]

And you are. . .?

[listen he didn't deal with bb's nonsense. He pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose.]

In any case. . .you know his name, or his title at least. The Wolf King. In this one scenario, it's not necessarily taboo to say his full name, as demons. . .already know of it, due to his marriage. But it's disrespectful for commoners to speak it.

Franklin Wolf.

[yes that is a very plain name but ALSO IT'S A FLOWER SO THERE,]

And I. . .simply do not have the time to teach you the intricacies of our language.

Crescendo is a person of some affluence in his world.

[He's touched, Cres. And he's not the sort that will say an apology isn't necessary. The other teen is free to argue about it more.]

I understand. I'm sure when dealing with the mentalscape of an individual the language barrier is a bit weaker. There are those with a far better grasp of that than me and I have no doubt they can work around it.

[ looks from Cres to Levi to Ceo. something clicks. so that's who was kidnapped from Rose. ]

Mmmmm... shame, but that's fair.

[ rip cool wolf language. ]

What about your sister? She's the one that gave us your Name, you know.
